Begin construction with the frame which is cut
from a piece of 1/2-in. plywood. Cut the piece
slightly oversize, about 1/8 in. all around, to allow
for finishing the edges; there must be no splinters.
Then lay out the hole pattern and drill all the
holes which are located by dimension, except
the holes F. Hole diameters are taken directly
from the bolt sizes given in the parts list. The
seven countersunk holes (indicated by concentric
circles) are drilled and countersunk for l.5-in.
No. 8 F.H. wood screws. These hold the brakeshaft
supports and the front-fender support, parts
No. 27 and 31. One hole, D, is not countersunk,
as it takes the screw holding the lower end of
the steering-column brace, part No. 59, which
passes through the frame and turns into the
front-fender support.
Holes A and B in the frame must be drilled at
an angle, hole A for the steering post and B for
the brake cable. Drill hole A slightly undersize
and at the approximate angle and then work it
to size and the correct angle later on with a round
